I have a 57 plate D40 double cab and when I've looked at the tailgate I cannot find a lock. Never bothered before but now I'm fitting a cover, how do you lock it? Its got some sort of chrome outer plate that looks after market, before I rive it off could it be covered?

The tailgate should have a key lock just to the right of the handle, it doesn't operate with the central locking, but can be modded to do so.
The D40 is one of the very few trucks that has a lockable tailgate.

Is it a u.k. model, as i think in some countries the lock isn't included. :wink:

to save ripping the chrome cover off, you could always take the inside cover pannel off to have a look :thumbright: you will then see if it has the lock barrel mech inside

Damn, that's a nice Nav. Interesting to note some subtle differences with what we get down here although I realise you've added some bits and bobs.[/quote:38ijvxh8]
